   Nov 29th 2002 -- We're now gathering signatures to a letter to Hong
   Kong Linux Center to ask them if we can change Aegir CMS license to
   the GNU General Public License (GPL).

   If your company agrees with this change, can you please write a    
   letter (see example) and send it to Francois Deppierraz by fax   
   (+41 21 847 00 77).
     * [1]Request letter to HKLC
     * [2]Corporate participation letter example

   We have already received letters from the following companies:
     * DataFlow (Switzerland)
     * Nemein (Finland)
     * Nimag Networks (Switzerland)
     * Software-Schmiede (Austria)

   The letters will be sent on Friday December 6th. If your letter
   doesn't reach Francois by then you can also send it directly to HKLC:
   Linux Center (HK) Ltd., Alan Chan, Unit 318B&C, 3rd Floor, Tech
   Centre, 72 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong
